| - When you live in the hot desert, you get parched. Carly's has the cure for any kind of cottonmouth. Mojitos, cheap beers, draft beers, coffee - if it's wet, they got it. I've been to a lot of cold kitchens, and I have to say that Carly's does it better than most. The hummus is kickin', the sandwiches are scrumptious, and the salads are put together better than anywhere else I've been too. I take away two stars because on some nights, I've had to wait for over thirty minutes to get a menu and water.
It's too bad... a couple of years ago, CARLY's WAS THE BEST PLACE TO EAT IN DOWNTOWN PHOENIX. I wish they would start hiring younger go-getters and not bartenders that were fired from other restaurants. Some of my friends would even go as far as to call this place "Snarly's". It's funny, but not accurate.
Back to the grub... If you order the hummus, get it with veggies or bread instead of the terra chips. You will run out of chips before you run out of hummus. Orzo is highly underrated and Carly's knows this - they offer it as a side to any sandwich of their menu. The portion is small, but the light feta sprinkles on the orzo will rock your world.
